The highest crossing of the Alps by cable car
Matterhorn Alpine Crossing
The cable car journey around the Matterhorn offers breathtaking views of the Zermatt mountains and takes you on a journey through the entire fauna, flora and glacier landscape. With a high standard of safety and comfort, the national border between Switzerland and Italy can be crossed at just about 3,500 m above sea level. During this unique crossing of the Alps, numerous other highlights await, such as the highest glacier palace in the world or the viewing platform with views of 38 four-thousand-metre peaks and 14 glaciers in 3 different countries.
Whether as a day trip across the border or as part of a fixed itinerary through Europe, the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing offers an exciting experience for locals and visitors alike.

AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE
An overview of the trip
Rocky landscape and lakes
Cime Bianche Laghi
In the midst of a barren rocky landscape lies the Cime Bianche Laghi station. As the name suggests, there is more than just rock and ice here: a fascinating lakeland world awaits discovery.
recommendation
Just behind the cableway station are the impressive waters of the Cime Bianche lakes, overlooked in the background by the towering Matterhorn, or “Gran Becca” as it is known by the locals.
The bike park is situated at the foot of the Matterhorn and is a real paradise of trails for freeriders and downhill bikers. The Italian park presents riders with some challenging routes. With its imposing scenery, it is almost unrivalled as a location for video and photography projects.
The finish of the Matterhorn Cervino Speed Opening is in Laghi Cime Bianche. Three-quarters of the course is visible from here. With the start in Switzerland and the finish in Italy, this World Cup race represents another successful collaboration between two countries at the foot of the Matterhorn.
